I think a good special theme would be the send a song in your national language. It would be nice to see a variety of languages in a song contest, and new people in the contest never saw it. And what i could suggest to it, is that if a country has multiple national languages and one of them is English, use another one.

Much has been said, but here some more ideas: - Brand-new, only songs from 2017 - Just groups - Themes: Everyone gets a theme or a keyword and has to send a song that fits to it. This might be too challenging for many countries though Sorry if anything was suggested before

What do you mean with that? I think 30 people in the final is what is meant ?? That's what I understood too, but it wouldn't be really special for anyone.

Now that the 29th edition is over, it is up to you to decide the theme for Festival of Miracles #30!
Thank you very much for all of your suggestions! I took all of them into consideration. There are a total of 7 themes you can choose from, I selected them mainly based on these criteria: - Realistic: A theme that keeps the contest's soul and atmosphere as it is.
- Affordable: That all countries can meet the requirements of the theme, regardless how small their music industry may be. I don't want to have withdrawals because of the theme.
- Innovative: I want this edition to not only be a special one, but also to actually feel like a special edition, some themes may have made this edition feel very similar to any other one.
- Rules clear: There were some themes that were too open for discussion whether a song would fit the theme or not, so I selected only those that would have very clear borderlines of what to send.
With that said, I can finally announce the seven possible themes for the next edition.
They are:
THEME #1: RANDOM COUNTRIES FOR ONE EDITION
Once every participant confirmed, everyone will be allocated with a random country for this one edition. The countries you could randomly get are only those already taken by the other players. It's important to say that the actions made by the player that edition won't affect its original player in the future ones. For example, if the player who randomly got Mexico doesn't vote, the player will be punished and not the original Mexican player.
THEME #2: RETRO EDITION
Opposite to the rule preventing everyone from submitting ''old'' songs, here you'd HAVE TO submit only songs released before 2005. If your country wasn't even founded before that date, then you have to send someone who was born in the geographical area where your country is nowadays.
THEME #3: ONLY MALE ARTISTS
From the past 12 winners, only 2 of them were completely male acts, this is why having an all male edition sounded like a very interesting idea. This would mean completely male acts, that is, for example, that the song ''Wild Thoughts'' by DJ Khaled couldn't compete because most of it is sang by Rihanna, a female singer.
THEME #4: OVERUSED SONGS ONLY
Here you can ONLY send songs that have participated in more than 5 contests, contrary to the very well-known ''originality'' rule in this contest. In case a country is too small to have overused songs, then that number would be reduced to, say, 3 contests. I would provide you precise instructions of what I do to find if a song is overused or not.
THEME #5: WINNER OF WINNERS
You have to send a song by the artist that gave your country their best result yet. This includes the results that country got even when you were not in charge of it. I'd provide you a full list with the best result of each country.
THEME #6: TRIBUTE EDITION
You can only send songs from deceased artists, like a way to honor their memory.
THEME #7: PAIR COUNTRIES
This theme is better explained with an example:
Let's say Italy and Slovenia get drawn together. The Italian player needs to suggest three songs to the Slovenian player and vice versa. Each one will have to send one of the suggested songs by the other user.
If this theme is selected, there would be regulations to avoid players from suggesting troll entries only or songs that they are aware will get poor results. How to vote: It's very simple actually, all you need to do is send me a PM telling me which TWO are your favorite themes. I'll reply confirming your votes have been counted.There will be a total of FIVE days and TWO reminders to make sure everyone votes! The theme with the most votes wins!
If you have ANY question regarding anything related to this subject, ask me without fear as I want this to be as clear possible.
I consider it EXTREMELY important for you to vote, and it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to do so. I really ask for your participation more than ever in this ocassion.
May the best theme win!
